Early review of "those" 3rd downs

[Gucci Mane]

without getting too technical because the all-22 isnt made available until later (for whatever reason), we can still look and get a good idea of whats going on. At the game i was very frustrated watching the ball sail on 3rd and shorts, but i was i drunk and hollering at the opposing bench so i wasnt reallywatching the plays unfold.

 

First one were going to look at happened in the 3rd quarter after the interception. its 3rd and 2 and what you have is KB and Avant running short crossing routes with olsen running a wheel route out of the backfield and cotchery clearing the safety on the other side. Here you can clearly see that KB is wide ass open, but if cam throws him the ball, its going to clunk off his helmet because hes not reading the zones right and hes not realizing he could turn into the hot read.

 

 

 

 

......

 

This one frustrated me because Cam delivers a catchable ball, albeit a hard one. But again, Cam has no immediate bail out due to the other receivers failing to get any separation and timing being off. The checkdown wasnt even close to being an option so the only throw was down the field again. (im not going to post 9124912874 screen shots so just take my word that the short dig was blanketed, the checkdown had a sitting LB, and cotchery got both hands on the ball.

This next play seemed to be a clear designed play to olsen with the way the two outside receivers run right at their man and cut inside to give Olsen room underneath his route (corner). Cam missed this one.

 

 

 

 

 

...

 

This one is just flat out self explanatory and it has nothing to do with Cam. Look at the big yellow line and look at where all our routes are going save for a slow ass Avant thats not even close to being a threat to get a first down (that db would have picked the ball). I mean its 3rd and 5 and 60% of his options were 15+ yards down field.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Like i said, this isnt exactly definitive proof of anything until i can watch the all 22 tomorrow but a glimpse into what kind of play calls are in Shulas 3rd down cycle. Do with it what you will.. when the coaches film is available i might be able to get into presnap reads/adjustments but for now we just have to settle for this. But for now, i see terrible playcalling (shocker) and one terrible throw. Plus notice how far back the O-line gets pushed from the LOS and how ineffective some of our route runners are on each play.

 

 

Take it away boys...

[smash_n_dash]

Combination of bad OL, bad play calling, bad game management by Ron, bad roster due to old GM limiting what we can do, bad decisions by Cam, etc

Result is a horrible feeling left in my gut because I got my hopes up late in that game

All I want is to stop these deep and deeo out routes on 3rd & 2. Its embarrasing that an OC in 2014 has no 5 yard routes created

On the 4th picture, Avant (or whoever is at the 44) has a step on the LB covering him. Easy 1st down.

trust me, the DB was basically jogging behind avant and baiting cam to throw that ball.

[Brooklyn Bully]

Anyone else getting tired of these posts? Not the work you put in, Gucci, but how it always turns into Cam this Cam that or Shula sucks?

 

The Huddle is getting booooring.

[Marc Anthony]

Our O-Line is one of, if not the worst in the NFL, but Cam is bad....lol!

[raleigh-panther]

Never let facts get in the way of a good story

Seems open to me at another look.

[Millioso7]

philly brown would have been open on that shallow route avant ran,,,,and i feel like that route was suppose to be deeper but avant is not fast enough to get depth......

[cookinbrak]

trust me, the DB was basically jogging behind avant and baiting cam to throw that ball.

 

Hang on, let me do some math....

 

9....times 7.....carry the 4........divide by Cuba......

 

Yep, Cam can throw faster than that guy can run. He's not standing behind the WR waiting, he's chasing him.

 

 

Of course, Cam probably would have overthrown or thrown behind him so.....yeah.

[Millioso7]

and soon KB will learn to still run routes like your the number one option on a play when you know your not... separates good from great...
